From the grand-father born during the 1st world war, emprisoned
during the 2nd, the Vallette estate has still kept going and
diversified their range to make this powerful wine.
Its blend is from a careful selection of grapes, a slow
fermentation, and a year in barrel so as to get this refined
complex wine.
It is a nice fruity wine and full bodied, coming for the major
part, from the Cabernet Sauvignon.
To taste with the traditional confit of duck and its parsley
potatoes, hoi sin style; also great with roast dinner and red or
green curry.
* Wine to be opened a bit before the meal to reduce its keenness…

The Vallette Family chose to blend so much Merlot to make it as
fruity as possible.
Indeed we can feel ripe fruits and berries with a nice
spicy-peppery taste.
We mature it for the minimum time necessary in barrel to allow
it to express its authentic aspect.
Consequently, the Montravel red is a well structured, vigorous
and generous wine. It is a great combination between the natural
softness of the Merlot and the character of the Cabernet
Sauvignon which contributes to the structure, rounded by the oak…This
is a wine “not to miss”, with a lot of work put in it as you
know now…
It will be great with red meat as game, beef, char grilled or in
a sauce, garlic and parsley baked mushrooms and many other
recipes. Will compliment amazingly strong cheeses as Pont l’Evêque,
Brie and dry goat cheese.
* A wine full of surprises to drink in special occasions
